3.2.4. Heavy oils as gas turbine fuels The efficient use of heavy oils in gas turbines is aided by standardising its properties. Work was carried out jointly by ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) to supply users, transporters and refiners with both fundamental and practical aspects on how to provide clean fuels for gas turbines, nature of impurities, their measurement, their effect on performance and means of control and removal. Their work evolved to produce the ASTM specification D2880-90a (ASTM Designation D 2880-90a) . Specifications for heavy and distillate oils used as fuels in gas turbines are partially reproduced in the following Table: -- Steve Spence Subscribe to the Renewable Energy Newsletter & Discussion Boards.
